Kylie Kelce is known for her meticulous game day rituals, a tradition she continues despite her husband Jason Kelce’s retirement from the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this year. She adheres to specific superstitions to ensure good luck for the teams she supports.
One of her primary practices includes avoiding social media on game days to prevent any potential jinx. Kylie has made it clear that she strictly follows this rule, stating, “No social media on game day!”
Kylie’s commitment to her superstitions extends beyond digital abstinence. She is particularly dedicated to wearing a specific green hat for each game, a token she believes brings good fortune to the Eagles. This ritual remains unchanged even when she supports the Kansas City Chiefs and her brother-in-law Travis Kelce, indicating her loyalty to her own team while still cheering on her family.
Kylie’s passion for the Eagles is unwavering, as she expresses her dedication with the phrase, “‘Til the day I die.” Her loyalty is reflected in her participation in The Athletic’s “Superstition Swap” campaign. This initiative encourages fans to share their own game day rituals in exchange for free access to advanced statistics and playoff predictions for the upcoming NFL season.
In her collaboration with The Athletic, Kylie emphasized her long-time enjoyment of their content. She decided to publicly share her hat ritual as part of the campaign, given the frequent inquiries she has received about it. The Athletic’s campaign resonates with a broader trend, as their findings show that over 70 percent of football fans believe in the efficacy of game day rituals, such as wearing lucky clothing.
With Jason Kelce’s retirement, this season marks a new chapter for the couple. For the first time, Kylie will have Jason by her side to watch Eagles games, which might lead to Jason developing his own post-retirement superstitions. Meanwhile, Jason is adjusting to life after football, focusing on health and nutrition adjustments due to a decrease in his physical activity.
